Situation at the Red Mosque getting worse

From the LA Times:
Cleric at besieged Pakistan mosque defiant
Fears deepened today over the fate of hostages reportedly being held by Islamic militants inside a besieged radical mosque in the heart of the capital.

Meanwhile, as Pakistani troops encircled the Red Mosque for a fifth day, the cleric in charge declared that he hoped the standoff, which has left at least two dozen people dead, would help trigger an Islamic revolution in Pakistan.

It was unclear how many people were inside the mosque complex, which contains two madrasas, or seminaries, with an enrollment of about 5,000 students. Some 1,200 people have surrendered to authorities, but the number of those leaving the mosque has slowed to a trickle. Some emerging students have said a hard-core group of about 50 militants is preventing hundreds of people inside, including women and children, from leaving. The army has been blasting holes in the wall of the compound in hopes of providing escape routes, and the sound of explosions echoed again today through the well-kept residential neighborhood where the mosque is located.

The government says it has held off on a full-scale assault out of concern for those being held against their will, but described the ringleaders as "terrorists" affiliated with radical Pakistani groups.

The mosque's head cleric, who took over as leader after his cleric brother was caught last week trying to slip out of the compound in women's clothes, said security forces had killed 300 of his followers. Authorities dismissed that claim.

The cleric, Abdul Rashid Ghazi, was quoted in Pakistani newspapers today as saying that he and his followers hoped their "martyrdom" would inspire a wider fight against the government.

However, the standoff has not generated significant support even from hard-line religious parties, and the general public seems to approve the government's decision to move against the mosque.
Yeah -- that line about the 72 white raisins of incredible purity would certainly motivate me to kill myself. Talk about a rational spiritual practice... Mohammed is the pig prophet of Satan. And I love that the guy's brother (the head cleric) tried to get his ass out of the situation by dressing up as a girl. Talk about a class act. Posted by DaveH at July 8, 2007 10:57 PM

the usa is self destructing both psychologically and physically as the women of the ameriki becomes whores taking the LBT (low back tattoo) and making the sex with every man, while killing their children through mass abortions.

ameriki’s son is now the fluffy bunny, to the pride of his sexually happy parents.

fear not my friends as the wicked always get their reward. Moqtada will die the death of Hezekiah, his organs (already) rotting from the inside out (in Iran where he has fled). It will not be pleasant. His family will be exterminated to the fourth degree of blood relations. this to include even the second bunny.
